Would recommend this tour
A long time friend Nicole Baade recommended this city tour for us!! WOW!! Carl was our driver! He was early and immediately introduced himself. He was kind so energetic and positive that we immediately knew this was going to be a great tour. Amazing first impression!! He went and picked up more people so we got to see extra things along the way! Her was very personable asked everyone where we were from helped the group get to know each other. We went all over Seattle. All the places we wanted to see and so many more we did t even know we needed to see. So knowledgeable and was not asked a single question he couldn’t answer!! At the time we needed to be at the ship he dropped us off right up to the ship where we could drop off our bags!! This was a perfect way to start our amazing vacation. Thanks Nicole and Carl for being such an amazing part of this amazing bucket list vacation!❤️

Northwest Tours are the best!
Wonderful experience. Great overview of Seattle with our guide Gary. Funny and informative plus answered all our questions. Got us to the port with plenty of time and no lines to deal with. I highly recommend Northwest Tours.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review, and for joining us Linda! We're glad Gary showed you a good time around Seattle and delivered you to your Cruise ship in plenty of time to board. We hope you had a great Cruise in Alaska!

Private Pre Alaska Cruise Seattle Tour and Cruise Transport: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Seattle.
How much does Private Pre Alaska Cruise Seattle Tour and Cruise Transport cost?
+
Prices start at $1,337 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Seattle usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Pre Alaska Cruise Seattle Tour and Cruise Transport take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Seattle is not rushed.
Is Private Pre Alaska Cruise Seattle Tour and Cruise Transport worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Seattle, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Pre Alaska Cruise Seattle Tour and Cruise Transport?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Pre Alaska Cruise Seattle Tour and Cruise Transport suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Pre Alaska Cruise Seattle Tour and Cruise Transport?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Seattle can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Seattle and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Pre Alaska Cruise Seattle Tour and Cruise Transport start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Seattle within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Seattle?
+
Seattle's best days leave the city: Mount Rainier, the San Juans, Olympic National Park and Snoqualmie Falls are all day-trip range, and each one lives or dies on the driver-guide. In town, Pike Place food tours, underground history walks and harbour cruises dominate. Our ranking favours operators with small vans over full coaches on the mountain runs. On Outty we rank every Seattle experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Mt. Rainier Day Tour from Seattle, Seattle City and Snoqualmie Falls Half-Day Guided Tour, Chef Guided Food Tour of Pike Place Market. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Seattle?
+
June to September for clear Rainier views and reliable ferry weather. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Seattle?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Private Pre Alaska Cruise Seattle Tour and Cruise Transport?
+
Included: Bottled water; In-vehicle air conditioning; Local Expert Guide; Customizable Itinerary; and Private transportation. Not included: Meals; On-board restrooms; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Private Pre Alaska Cruise Seattle Tour and Cruise Transport include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 112 listed pickup locations in and around Seattle. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Private Pre Alaska Cruise Seattle Tour and Cruise Transport offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Pre Alaska Cruise Seattle Tour and Cruise Transport?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Private Pre Alaska Cruise Seattle Tour and Cruise Transport wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Private Pre Alaska Cruise Seattle Tour and Cruise Transport if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Seattle. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
